I see you've been a member for 1.5 years, surely you've purchased a manual or two with the info?

This is data from an Alliant data manual dated 2001

155gr laser cast - winchester small pistol primer- oal 1.125- bullseye 4.9gr- 1051fps- 33.1kpsi

This is the same weight.

I have some of the Berrys 155g bullets in .40 but have not loaded alot of them. My understanding is that load data for plated bullets falls somewhere between jacketed and cast. In other words you can push them harder than cast but not quite as hard as jacketed. I have not tried Bullseye with the Berrys, I have used it with the Lee 175g tc cast boolit with good results. For the Berrys I was using Winchester 231, with fair results so far. Like the second poster said, if you dont have a reloading manual yet, get one. The Lyman #49 is a good place to start.
